Terms of Use and Privacy Policy (the quick version)

Lawyers, eh? Geograph Project's terms of use for the www.geograph.org.uk website can
be boiled down to the following:

We'll do no evil. We won't sell your personal details to
spammers or abuse the copyright on your submissions.

We want you to do no evil to us. Don't spider or
leech the site and be respectful to other users of the site. Make sure you own the
copyright on the images you submit and check the accuracy of the information you supply and/or choose to use.

If there is a problem, you agree to contact us so that we can work it out together. We're just trying to build something worthwhile.
Contact us with your concerns.

Below is a somewhat lengthier expression of the above. Make a nice cup of
tea, put your feet up, and prepare to be riveted by a rollercoaster ride of legal
boilerplate...

for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, special, direct, or
other damages whatsoever arising out of or relating to this Agreement or your use of
the Site or the Site Information, even if they have been advised of the possibility of
such damages, and even if the remedies otherwise provided under this Agreement, at
law, or in equity, fail of their essential purpose. This limitation and exclusion of
damages includes but is not limited to damages for loss of profits or confidential or
other information, for business interruption, for loss of

legally valid, Geograph Project Ltd, its officers, employees,
agents and volunteer administrator's liability for any claims arising out of or
relating to this Agreement (including any terms and conditions referenced in this
Agreement) including for any direct damages arising from your reliance on Site
